Texas Rangers RHP Tyson Ross was activated from the 10-day disabled list Saturday, Aug. 12, and will make the start later in the evening against the Houston Astros. In a corresponding move, OF Ryan Rua was optioned to Class AAA Round Rock.

Texas Rangers 2B Rougned Odor (foot) was not in the starting lineup Wednesday, Aug. 9, because he was hit in the foot by a pitch Tuesday, Aug. 8, but did enter the game in the eighth inning. Manager Jeff Banister said Odor's absence was a precaution.
